Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Ireland's Water Quality and the Nitrates Derogation: Discussion

Mr. Bill Callanan:

It is the same for everybody. The catchments programme was a monitoring programme that was put in to effectively understand the response to those actions that are available everywhere. There are six identified areas of different soil types, different farming etc. that are representative of the country. Yes, they have dedicated advisory support within those areas. A technician is monitoring and an adviser is working with farmers in terms of understanding what is happening because it is quite intensive. It is not in any way different. It is reflective of the whole country.
